No Excuses

When God calls me to go:
1. Human Problem: If I go there, I might have to suffer.
God's Solution: Philippians 1:28-And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

2. Human Problem: But Lord, how do I know this is your will?
God's Solution: Philippians 2:12-13-Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

3. Human Problem: What about the bad living conditions there?
God's Solution: Philippians 3:7-But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

4. Human Problem: I would find it difficult to learn a new language and culture.
God's Solution: Philippians 4:13-I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

5. Human Problem: What if medical attention was needed or other emergencies come up?
God's Solution: Philippians 4:19-But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

6. Human Problem: I don't think I could be happy over there. The isolation would get to me.
God's Solution: Philippians 4:4-Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
